In the early morning of this day, the sky was blue, the sun was shining, and it was so colorful that it could be used as a material for making dreams. Eugari, Miria, and Bralala, along with Zhenzhen, Relo, and other slum children, arrive at a river beach on the south bank of the Sunset River, north of the East Vigil Forest, where they plan to spend two days of relaxing and enjoyable outings.

Here is a branch of the Sunset River. Behind it is a narrow meadow and avenue leading to the town of the Watch, and behind it is the lush Forest of the East Watch. On the other side of the shore is a small island formed by rocks and sediment, and several families live on the island, who have been fishing for a long time. There is also a stone bridge built nearby that leads to the island. Further on, there is the Sunset River, which rushes to the sea.

"Everyone! Everyone has been working very hard these days, so let's forget about what happened before and have a good time! Lei Luo put down his luggage and greeted everyone.

"Oh——!" Listening to Lei Luo's call, everyone excitedly raised their arms and shouted, swept away their previous fatigue, and began to set up tents on the shore.

"I'm really here to help." Majin pouted and shouted as she pulled Miria's long skirt and shook it.

"Oh, don't you mess with it. Well, let's play by myself over there. We'll play with you when we've set up our tents. Miria said helplessly.

"No, no. I'm going to do Sister Miria a favor too. As he spoke, Zhenzhen grabbed the tent with both hands, but suddenly lost his center of gravity, fell, and pulled the tent that was about to be erected to the ground. Let the work that Milia and the others have so hard accomplished go down the drain.

"There are fish in the river!" Aegean shouted excitedly as she pointed to the big fish that had jumped out of the water.

"Really. If Conya came along, she would be very happy! Yugari looked at Aigean's direction and said happily.

"Shall we catch two? It is just a lunch for a while. Aegean suggested.

"This." Eugari said in embarrassment, "We don't seem to have fishing rods with us." And Miria and I don't like to go into the water, Brala......" Yugari looked at Brala who was helping Miria set up a tent in the distance, and was embarrassed to continue.

"Yes. Don't be whimsical. Please, use your brain and think about it. With such a fast water, you can't catch it even with a fishing rod. How to catch? A sucker! Andy, who was squatting by the river and looking at the river, complained sarcastically.

Listening to Andy's words, Aegean had an unhappy expression, slowly walked behind Andy, suddenly raised a kick, and kicked him down, "Of course you go down and catch it." A sucker! ”

"Hey! Everyone! There are delicious fruits here! On the avenue behind, Lei Luo stood beside a carriage carrying goods and shouted to everyone.

"So good. What's going on? Moli and Angel walked towards Lei Luo with a group of chirping children.

"This is the carriage of the Klock Chamber of Commerce, just going to the Vigil Town to make deliveries, passing by here, saying that it will give us some." Relo explained.

"You're welcome. Anyway, there is an extra one, and next week is the harvest season, so let's take it and eat it! The uncle in the carriage said enthusiastically.

"That's so thankful." Mo Li thanked politely.

"Huh? Are you alone? I didn't see the guards. Be careful. Angel stood behind Mo Li and whispered.

"Haha. Thank you, thank you. The uncle smiled heartily, "It's okay, this road from Starlis to Vigil may be the safest road in the country." It seems like I've never heard of anything happening on this road. There are hardly any demons, monsters, tigers, leopards, jackals, or anything like that. There are fishing villages along the way, and there are no robbers at all. ”

"That's right. That's really good. Lei Luo sighed.

"Stop, don't run. Give it back. Not far away, a little girl was chasing a little boy and shouted. Suddenly, the little girl tripped and fell to the ground, fell and cried loudly.

Seeing this, Angel immediately rushed over, picked up the little girl and comforted her, "Don't cry, don't cry." What happened? ”

"He, he...... Grab my fruit. The little girl said as she sobbed.

"Alright, alright. Meimei doesn't cry, everyone has fruit. Mo Li walked up and handed the fruit in her hand to the little girl, and said, "Sister will help you teach him a lesson, don't cry." ”

"Hmm......" the little girl replied with a nod of her head as she took the fruit, wiped her tears.

At noon, everyone sat around the campfire and enjoyed the lunch that had been prepared to their heart's content. Andy, of course, the river fish he caught, and the fruits he gave from his uncle. There was a happy smile on everyone's face.

"What's your name? It's as if he always has a dissatisfied expression. Yugari asked the little boy next to her, "When I was in magic school before, was there anything you didn't like?" ”

"Hmph. You have to take care of it! The little boy turned his head with an unreasonable expression.

"Lu Nan, my name is Lu Nu." The younger sister next to the little boy whispered.

"Don't talk nonsense, it was someone else's blind name, so we don't call it such a disgusting name." The little boy immediately scolded.

So the little girl stopped answering.

"What, I don't have a name." Zhenzhen, who was sitting on the left of Yujali, said sarcastically.

"You have to take care of it." The passerby said angrily, "You just take care of your eggs." I've been out to play with an egg, and it's the first time I've seen someone like you. What a shame! ”

"What an egg, this is the egg of an important rare species that Sister Miria has given me for safekeeping, and it is about to hatch. When the time comes, if you give birth to a dragon and a phoenix or something, don't be envious. Really unconvinced.

"Alright, stop arguing. I also have a special snack from the store, you can try it, it's very delicious. Yugari took out a box of delicious snacks and handed it over, relieving the unpleasant atmosphere.

"Just now I saw a cave by the river, it was dark, and I don't know what was inside." Andy, who was wrapped in a blanket, said suddenly.

"Caves? Where is it? When did you see it? Aegean asked curiously.

"When you're catching fish in the river, of course." Andy exclaimed, angrily, "It's on the river, a little to the east." ”

"Let's take a look later, okay?" Aegean advised, "What if there is a treasure? ”

"There is nothing so good. Money is obsessed. Andy couldn't help but complain.

"What's the matter with that. If you really have talent, I won't give it to you. Anyway, you're not obsessed with money. ”

"No...... Wouldn't there be any danger? Angel on the side whispered.

"No, no. There are so many of us, what's so scary. Aegean waved her hand and said, "What do you say, Jiali?" ”

"Well......" replied to Eugari, after a moment's thought, "well, let's go on an expedition." However, if you find any danger, you must run out quickly. ”

"Of course. No problem. Aegean replied energetically.

So, after lunch, Yujali took Leiluo, Aegean, Andy, and Lu Nan to the cave by the river. It's a fairly spacious cave. It's about two or three meters tall and can walk down five or six adults side by side. Under your feet is the stagnant water that spreads all the way to the depths, and in front of you is the space where you can't see your fingers.

Yugari drew her staff, summoned the light source, and cautiously walked at the front of the group. "Everyone, watch your step, don't trip." With Yujari's advice, a faint echo was heard in the cave.

The terrain in the cave is more complicated, and people can't figure out the direction by turning seven or eight times, up and down. After walking a distance, everyone unconsciously came to the end of the cave, and the cold stone wall ruthlessly blocked the way forward.

"What. There is nothing at all. I've said it a long time ago. Let's take a trip for nothing. Andy complained sarcastically.

"Are you still here? I didn't say I wanted you to follow. Not to be outdone, Aegean retorted.

"Wait, there's something over there." Relo turned and walked towards the other corner. Yugari hurriedly pulled the light source over.

"It's an egg! There are a lot of eggs here. Lei Luo took advantage of Yujiali's light source, crouched down, and shouted to everyone.

"Really." Aegean said excitedly, as if he had found some treasure, "Let me see." With that, he squeezed to Lei Luo's side and took a closer look.

"What kind of egg is this?" Aegean curiously picked up a milky egg the size of a child's head and asked.

"I don't know." Andy replied nonchalantly.

"I haven't seen it either."

"I don't know."

"It's much bigger than that little girl's egg, anyway."

"Hey, shall we bring some back?" Aegean asked.

"No, are you sure you can eat it?"

"Don't just think about eating!"

"Why don't you take it back? Hatched out? ”

Just as everyone was discussing it sentence by sentence, Yujali suddenly turned around, faced the road she came from, and said solemnly, "Shhhh There is a case! ”

Hearing Yujiali's words, everyone immediately became alert, and they all got up and turned in the direction they came. Lei Luo nervously pressed the dagger at his waist and stared at the dark path.

As the sound approached, a large crocodile appeared in Eugari's field of vision.

"It's a big nail-toothed alligator!" Lei Luo forced a calm and said, "I've read it in the information, be careful of its teeth, don't be bitten." It is said that it can easily bite a person into two pieces. ”

"It's—it's so terrifying." Aegean said tremblingly.

"Do you want to teleport everybody?" Yugari thought to herself, "But how far is this from the ground? Oops, I can't figure out the direction of the exit at all.'" Just as he thought of this, the long-nosed crocodile suddenly opened its bloody mouth and rushed straight towards Andy.

Andy didn't have time to react, and was pushed out by Eugari at the moment when the alligator was about to bite him, and before he could retract his arm, he rubbed the crocodile's fangs, leaving a long blood trail.

Taking advantage of the crocodile's turn, Lei Luo quickly moved behind the crocodile, holding the dagger with both hands and stabbing it in the back.

"It's so hard!" Relo's dagger didn't fully pierce the crocodile's back. The crocodile immediately twisted its huge body and swept Lei Luo out with all his might. Lei Luo hurriedly took a few steps back, and slammed into the rock wall behind him with a thud.

At this time, the crocodile adjusted its body again and pounced towards Aegean. Eugari hurriedly stepped forward, blocking the alligator's impact with a barrier, and then swung her staff to knock the alligator out of the way.

"Run! Get out of here now! Yugari commanded everyone and immediately ran along the same path towards the entrance of the cave. It didn't take long for everyone to be back at the river.

"Whew—scared the hell out of me." Aegean, who rushed out of the cave, looked back and saw that the long-nosed crocodile did not chase after him, and let out a sigh of relief.

"In the future, I will never listen to you again." Andy, who was running out of breath, complained.

"What! You're so useless, you're a fool and you're hurt! Aegean retorted sarcastically.

"What did you say?"

"Alright, let's go. If you don't walk for a while, a few more will be in trouble. Yugari hurriedly reminded.

Lei Luo also agreed with Yujiali's point of view, and hurriedly beckoned everyone to continue running towards the camp. On the way, Aegean and Andy don't care about arguing about anything.

At dinner, everyone still sat around the campfire, talking and laughing, enjoying the fun of picnic.

"Huh? Why didn't you see the road man? Where is he? Yugari looked around and couldn't find the man.

"I don't know, I haven't seen him since I started."

"My brother said that he had a stomach problem, so he would go out for a while and skip dinner first." At this time, the road girl next to her whispered.

"Huh? It doesn't matter, right? And if you go out alone, it's very dangerous in this wilderness. I'll go find him. Yugari said as she put down her dishes and chopsticks and stood up.

"No, it doesn't matter." The road girl hurriedly said, "My brother said, he will go around the avenue and come back immediately, no need to look for him." ”

"That's right." Yujiali still muttered with some hesitation, "That's not reassuring." ”

"It's okay. This road is considered the safest area around Starlis. It shouldn't be fine. Lei Luo reassured, "Otherwise, after dinner, we will go over there together, and we will take a walk." ”

"Hmm...... All right. After listening to Lei Luo's words, Yujiali reluctantly sat down again.

At this moment, in the depths of that cave by the river. A large, large, nail-toothed alligator fell to the ground on all fours, several deep cracks had been cut in its abdomen, and a large amount of blood was spilling out, apparently losing signs of life.

"You guys are hiding here. I figured out how to get a kid over before I went to bed. Then you take him and take him back for information. That's what the chief told me. A short black shadow said to four or five tall black shadows. This person is Lu Nan. The four or five tall men beside him were sent by Xiang Bing to assist him in arresting people.

"No problem, it's easy to do. As long as you can get one. Don't let anyone find out. One of the men said confidently.

"Don't worry, I have a solution." Lu Nan responded without showing weakness. Then, he turned and walked out of the cave.

"Who should I catch?" On the way back to the camp, Lu Nan thought to himself, "That ugly monster should be caught the most. However, she seems to be very powerful. It's not good if you don't catch her and run away...... The other one seems to be similar. None of the others belong to that guild, so what should I do?"

While pondering what to do next, Lu Nan ran back to the camp.

"Hey. Brat. Where have you been? Everybody went to the avenue to look for you. Looking at the road man who walked back, Zhenzhen, who stayed by the bonfire, asked unceremoniously.

"Huh? Did they all go to me? Are you saying they're all gone? ”

"How is that possible, stupid." Zhenzhen looked down on Lu Nan and continued, "Only Sister Jiali and they went. Sister Miria and the kids were packing up over there. You don't go over and say hello, save them worry. ”

Hearing this, the little boy suddenly had an idea, mysteriously approached Zhenzhen, and whispered, "You know what. The cave we went to during the day had eggs that looked exactly like yours. And some of them are bigger than you, and there is more than one. ”

"Really?" Zhenzhen's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked with interest.

"Of course, if you don't believe it, everyone has seen it. What do you think? Do you want to go and get a few back? It's definitely better than the one you're holding. ”

"Okay, okay." Zhen Zhen said happily, "Where?" Take me there. ”

"You can't let them know about this, and if they do, they won't let us go. Do you understand? ”

"Uh-huh. I don't tell them. ”

"That's it. When they all fall asleep at night, you sneak out. I'll wait for you by the river, and then I'll take you to the cave, how about it? ”

"Okay, it's a deal." Really satisfied agreed.

In the dead of night. While Miria beside her was asleep, Zhenzhen quietly walked out of the tent and went straight to the river.

"It's been a long time." The man sitting by the river complained impatiently.

"No way, everyone's late. Let's go. "I was really happy to think that I would be able to get something good right away.

The two of them walked along the riverbank for a distance in the dark, and finally came to the cave. "This is it. The egg is inside. If you want, go in and get it yourself. Lu Nan pointed to the cave in front of him and said to Zhenzhen.

"Huh? Won't you go in with you? Zhenzhen asked, tilting her head.

"Stupid, I'm not interested in eggs, what do you want it for? How? You wouldn't be afraid of the dark and wouldn't go in alone, would you? What a coward! ”

"He's not a coward!" Zhenzhen immediately retorted angrily.

"Then you can go in by yourself. I'm waiting for you here. Hurry up and take it out and we'll go back. It's not good if it's been found out for a long time. Lu Nan urged impatiently.

"Humph! Go for it! What's so scary! With that, she pouted and walked into the cave.

Seeing Zhenzhen's figure disappear into the depths of the dark cavern, Lu Nan immediately turned around and ran in the direction of the camp. When he returned to the camp, he hurriedly looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he immediately got into his tent, and slept until dawn as if nothing had happened.

The next morning, Yujali and the others walked out of the tent early and continued to enjoy the outing. Everyone talked, frolicked, and played together. Yugari, Moli and Angel accompany the young children to do various children's games. Miria sat quietly by the river reading a book, but the constant noise around her was a bit overwhelming. Blala was alone staring at the river, not knowing what she was thinking. Lei Luo and the others formed an expedition team, saying that they were going to explore nearby. Only the dazed road man stood in front of the tent, which seemed incompatible with everyone's happy and peaceful atmosphere.
